AbstractA 59-year-old male with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was scheduled for resection of a maxillary cyst. Metoprolol was discontinued the day before surgery. Thirty min before anesthesia, meperidine 35 mg was administered intramuscularly. After intravenous administration of midazolam 3 mg, a pulmonary catheter was inserted for monitoring hemodynamic parameters. Anesthesia was induced with propofol 75 mg, fentanyl 0.15 mg and ketamine 75 mg. Anesthesia was maintained with continuous infusion of propofol 5 mg.kg-1.h-1 and ketamine 1 mg.kg-1.h-1. Moreover, fentanyl was added as necessary during surgery. Blood pressure (BP), pulmonary arterial pressure (PA), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) and pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRI) were measured using a pulmonary catheter during anesthesia. Since BP decreased after intubation, dopamine 3 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 was administered for 20 min. The hemodynamic state was stable during surgery. However, BP, PA, SVRI and PVRI increased temporally at extubation. His postoperative course was uneventful. In conclusion, total intravenous anesthesia with propofol, fentanyl and ketamine may be useful for anesthetic management of a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
